Default Re: Building lightweight Lithium car battery 10lbs!

so here it is installed and running . it looks so compact in there . landed up using the factory battery tie down , worked perfect . For those who want to lose even more weight you could remove the metal tie down and replace it with something lighter .

for a cleaner look i went to west marine and made a 16" negative battery cable and changed out the factory one , also easier to attach the copper terminals.

for battery boxes we use plastic ammo cans , they fit perfect . this one is an mtm (comes in green , black and purple!) plano has one almost identical and menard's sells one too.

if there is any interest i can assemble another one and take pictures . its pretty easy stuff.
